To Forgive or Not to Forgive....


Forgiveness is a difficult action of overcoming the feeling of bitterness or revenge for the person who has done some sort of wrong actions towards another. The very nature of a human is to become angry and feel bitterness or irritation towards those who have hurt, damaged, or did some harm to another person in any certain way.  Some people may even think that forgiveness encourages the wrongdoer to perform these bad actions repeatedly without consequence. For example, if a friend “accidentally” forgets to finish their part of a group project.
In this case, every member of the group can be punished and forgiveness may not be an option let alone exist in ones mind. I believe that forgiveness is very important in any sort of relationship. Showing this person forgiveness may encourage the student and indicate that something in their work habits may need to change. Not showing forgiveness or even understanding may discourage and disappoint the student. As we all know everyone makes mistakes some point in time, we need to learn somehow.
